Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is difficult to find an email based on a set of parameters (dates, attachments, senders, etc) that i know exists in my account, but I'm not sure in which folder it resides.
Describe the solution you'd like
Currently we can only search inside a single folder at a time.
Alternatively we can use the Global Nextcloud search, but then we don't have access to use all of the filters:
Describe alternatives you've considered
The Global Nextcloud search sometimes helps, but it's very not easy/obvious how to filter the search results.
Additional context
Ideally, in this dialog, it would show the folder that you are searching at the top of the dialog. Then the user could change that to any folder they would like, or choose an entire account to search.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the existing single-folder search dialog and its filters; done means allowing the search scope to change to another folder or the entire account while retaining those filters and showing the selected scope.
